Pervasive Group is going
to launch two new apps at CES 2013. These two apps are MMGuardian Tablet
Security for Android tablets and MMGuardian Premium for Android smartphones. These
two apps will allow parents to control the use of mobile devices by children
and teens. Demo version of these two
apps will be shown during a Power Session on CES Press Day.

Those who have
Android-based tablet PC will get MMGuardian Tablet Security app available on
Google Play, along with MMGuardian app for smartphones. However, MMGuardian
Premium is yet to be appeared in Google’s online store.

With the help of
MMGuardian Tablet Security app, parents will be able to set time limits on
Kids’ use of tablets, block the use of specific apps, and prevent kids from
installing new apps. Time limits can also be used to set time for the use of
specific apps.

The currently available
MMGuardian apps for both tablet and smartphone can be installed on to the
child’s mobile device. For uninstalling the MMGuardian app, parents will be
required to given an “admin password”.

Pervasive Group says that
they are making app for iPhone and it is under development. According to them,
it will come with more limited set of features than the Android smartphone due
to the characteristics of Apple's iOS API.
